Our 100-year-old traditional wooden house was fully renovated about 10 years ago, keeping its charm. All guest spaces-bedroom, living room, shower, washroom, and toilet-are on the 2nd floor. Host lives downstairs and shares only the entrance with guests. The house is in a quiet residential area with easy bus access to Kyoto Station, downtown, main sightseeing areas, KyotoUniv and ConfCtr. Many restaurants and 7 Eleven are nearby. We host only 1 group per night so you can relax and feel at home.
The space
Reservations are limited to 1 group per night.
The capacity of our guest room is for Max. 4 people, but currently we only accept guest who can come alone, due to the host's circumstances.
The guest room, which is used as the guest bedroom, retains the appearance of a 100-year-old tatami room, but the rest of the house has been renovated into a Japanese-taste Western-style room with all new facilities. All the guest spaces (living room, bedroom, shower, washroom and toilet) are on the 2nd floor, and only the entrance is shared with the host who live on the 1st floor. The entrance is also accessible by a ten-key keypad, and there is no curfew. Therefore, you can enjoy staying without disturbing host and others. Please note that you will be asked to carry your luggage upstairs and downstairs by yourself.
The rattan table and chairs are set up on the porch adjacent to the bedrooms, so you can sit and relax and enjoy the garden trees, moss, and seasonal flowers.

During your stay
Upon your request.
We have a lot of genuine information on sightseeing and authentic traditional cultural experience in Kyoto. We will be able to show you the way to everywhere you want to go efficiently in a limited short time. Also, we will be able to give you the information to experience authentic traditional Japanese culture. Because the information about shoddy experience of traditional Japanese culture is flooding not only on various web-site but also in the city. We are afraid that such kind of information make foreign tourists mislead to know Japanese traditional cultures.
If you like to talk with us about the travel information, common Japanese life or anything else, let's talk together.
If you want to keep quiet, we don't disturb you.
Please tell us your request.
Other things to note
We are in tie-up with the Carry Service next to B1F Central Exit of JR Kyoto station (Kyoto Tower side), so you can do sightseeing empty-handed on both day of arrival and leaving. We can also keep your luggage before check-in or after check-out at our house.
The time from JR Kyoto Station to our house is about 30 minutes by subway and bus, and about 15 minutes by cab (depending on waiting time for the cab and road conditions). Transportation by subway and bus is very convenient with little waiting time, especially during the daytime, and direction is very easy to follow. More details will be provided after the reservation is approved.
